Fiery Catalina Wings

Visit my other site, For The Wing, for all things chicken-wing!

Despite how simple the sauce on these fiery Catalina wings was to make, it absolutely blew us away! We loved it! A tad of sweetness, a tad bit of tanginess, and a good bit of heat. Of course, you can adjust the heat to your liking, which is why making your own chicken wing sauce is so much more fun than using a sauce out of a bottle.

Fiery Catalina Wings

I cook a lot of wings using lots of different sauces, but there’s no doubt that fiery Catalina wings will be common in our house. Everything we need to make them is on-hand, so I can throw together the sauce in no time with no hassle. Perfect.

I store my leftover homemade sauces in squeeze bottles. If refrigerated, I set them out an hour before using so they come to room temperature. You don’t want to put cold sauce on hot wings!

Also try my Angry chicken wings. They have some kick!

I absolutely love chicken wings, cooked any way, with any sauce (or without). I love them so much that I created a free eCookbook that is full of my favorite wing recipes.

Stubb’s Wicked Habanero Pepper Wings

Visit my other site, For The Wing, for all things chicken-wing!

Sometimes when you try a taste of a hot sauce or wing sauce you’re like “whoa, that’s hot!”. I was like that when I first tasted Stubb’s Wicked Habanero Pepper wing sauce. It had some mighty good kick, but mighty good flavor. On wings, though, it was absolutely fantastic. The heat wasn’t as hot, but that great flavor got even better. I absolutely loved this sauce. I cannot over-describe how great it tastes.

Stubbs Wicked Habanero Pepper Wings

I’ve tried other sauces (for other than wings) from Stubb’s and I’ve been really happy with them. And even though Stubb’s Wicked Habanero Pepper wing sauce says ‘wing sauce’ on the label, I’d argue that it’d be great on steaks too. In fact, that’s what I’m going to do next. It’s also great as a dipping sauce for things like chicken nuggets and tenders. And believe it or not, it’s great on hot dogs too!

Stubb’s also makes a black pepper sauce that is absolutely killer on wings.

Cajun Honey Lime Wings

Visit my other site, For The Wing, for all things chicken-wing!

There’s wing sauce and there’s WING sauce. The Cajun honey lime sauce on these wings was so good that I’ll be using it on a lot more than ‘just’ wings. A little spice, a little sweet, and a little citrus, all in a thick but not gooey sauce that doesn’t just flow off your wings into the bottom of the basket. Finger-licking good, that’s for sure.

Cajun Honey Lime Wings

I used a fairly tame and not overpowering BBQ sauce when I made these Cajun honey lime wings. The flavors could easily be drowned out by an overly sweet smoky BBQ sauce. Just grab your run-of-the-mill regular ole BBQ sauce. Nothing fancy.

I store my leftover homemade sauces in squeeze bottles. If refrigerated, I set them out an hour before using so they come to room temperature. You don’t want to put cold sauce on hot wings!

I’m a big fan of Cajun-flavored or Cajun-inspired wings. Try my Cravin’ Cajun, Cajun wings with dipping sauce, and my Cajun Bay (a fantastic mix of Cajun and Old Bay seasonings!) wings.

Raspberry Chipotle Wings

Visit my other site, For The Wing, for all things chicken-wing!

Oh, goodness me! Raspberry chipotle wings are my newest food addiction. The sauce is just crazy good. Great berry flavor and a nice helping of heat. And a little bit of sweet to temper that kick just a bit. I used fresh local raspberries, but frozen would work just fine too.

Raspberry Chipotle Wings

The sauce would also be great on a grilled pork tenderloin, or just grilled chicken. I wouldn’t be afraid to add a bit more of the chipotle if you’re into heat like I am. Just make sure that when you strain the sauce you don’t let any seeds through. The sauce is what make raspberry chipotle wings so fantastically great.

I store my leftover homemade sauces in squeeze bottles. If refrigerated, I set them out an hour before using so they come to room temperature. You don’t want to put cold sauce on hot wings!

Also try my chipotle blackberry wings and my crispy chipotle wings.

Garlic Parmesan Wings

Visit my other site, For The Wing, for all things chicken-wing!

These savory garlic Parmesan wings were just fantastic. Nutty Parmesan cheese pairs well with earthy garlic. For me, just a little bit of cool Ranch dressing for dipping is all that is required. I want to enjoy the flavor of the wings, so I just dip a bit, if at all. These wings have some of the best flavor of any wings I’ve ever made or had. I regret not making more when I made them for lunch the other day!

Garlic Parmesan Wings

I cooked these garlic Parmesan wings on my Weber charcoal grill using the Vortex insert, which gives me that great crunchy skin and fantastic grilled flavor without a lot of effort. In fact, just about no effort whatsoever.

If you want a bit of a kick, add a few pinches of red pepper flake to the sauce.

Also try my easy-to-make and quick-to-devour grill master wings. If you’re in a hurry, grab a bottle of Kroger’s Parmesan Garlic wing sauce and devour some wings!

Black Pepper Wings

Visit my other site, For The Wing, for all things chicken-wing!

I really love ‘dry’ chicken wings. By dry I mean not pre-sauced. Not ewwwy dry. Good dry. And they don’t have to be complicated either. Like these black pepper wings. Salt. Pepper. Wings. Well, ok, I did have a dipping sauce, but it’s the fantastic out-of-the-bottle Stubb’s Black Pepper Anytime sauce, which is also great as a marinade. The combination of generous amounts of pepper on the wings and pepper in the sauce made for a mighty fine peppery wing extravaganza!

Black Pepper Wings

You don’t want to be shy with the black pepper on these black pepper wings. You want that pepper kick, and even a bit of pepper heat, to come through in every bite.

Stubb’s also makes a wicked habanero sauce that is fantastic on wings.

These little sauce dipping cups are great for serving dipping sauces, if I use them. They’re easy to clean up, too. And they’re also great for dipping nuggets, tenders or even for serving salad dressing.

Also try my crazy good and different chipotle pumpkin wings.

Peach Apricot Chile Wings

Visit my other site, For The Wing, for all things chicken-wing!

I had been jonesin’ for these peach apricot chile wings from the moment I ran across the original recipe. Not because I’m a big fan of apricots, mind you, but because i knew that the combination of sweet peach and apricot would go perfectly with spicy chile sauce. Heck, I think the sauce even changed my mind about apricots!

Peach Apricot Chile Wings

I cooked these peach apricot chile wings on my Weber charcoal grill using the Vortex insert, which gives me that great crunchy skin and fantastic grilled flavor without a lot of effort. In fact, just about no effort whatsoever.

Usually I toss my wings with sauce after they are cooked, but this time I brushed some of the sauce onto the wings just before removing them from the grill. The sauce ‘set up’ a bit, making for the best sticky yummy wings you could imagine. I also served a bit extra of the sauce on the side for dipping.

I store my leftover homemade sauces in squeeze bottles. If refrigerated, I set them out an hour before using so they come to room temperature. You don’t want to put cold sauce on hot wings!

Anchor Bar Wings

Visit my other site, For The Wing, for all things chicken-wing!

Eating wings at the Anchor Bar is on my bucket list, and not near the bottom of the list either. It would be somewhat of a pilgrimage for me. Until I can get there to devour some original Buffalo wings, I’ll have to ‘settle’ for my homemade wings tossed with the real-deal-authentic-wing-sauce. I don’t consider it settling at all, because these wings were fantastic. Just the right amount of heat and absolutely great seasoning. This is bottled magic right here. I could’ve definitely had more. And more.

Anchor Bar Wings

I ordered Anchor bar wing sauces online. I found the prices to be quite reasonable as was shipping. They now have a number of different varieties available, from the mild to the hot. And even a delicious BBQ-inspired wing sauce! Don’t be shy, back up the truck and get as many sauces as you can fit into your pantry. They won’t last long.

Also try my kickin’ Bayou Blast wings.

Buffalo Wings on the Char-Broil Big Easy

Visit my other site, For The Wing, for all things chicken-wing!

Boy howdy, these Buffalo wings on the Char-Broil Big Easy came out great! 30 minutes marinating, 30 or so minutes cooking and it’s time to devour some traditional-flavored wings. I used the Big Easy Cooking Rack, which lets you cook on up to 6 different levels, enough room for a family pack (around 4 pounds) of wings. You can also use the standard Big Easy basket along with the bunk bed basket, but you won’t be able to cook as many wings at once. The rack is no longer available, but has been replaced by the bunk bed basket.

Buffalo Wings on the Char-Broil Big Easy

I did ‘finish’ the wings on a grill to get a little char and crisp, but doing so is completely optional. These Buffalo wings on the Char-Broil Big Easy are fantastic right off the cooker. If a little crunch is what you want do what I did and put them over high heat on a grill for a few minutes before serving.

To make this dish on the Char-Broil Big Easy I used a bunk bed basket. It lets me double or even triple the amount of cooking space I have.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place the wings into a large resealable bag or container.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan.
  • Stir in the remaining ingredients.
  • Let cool slightly. Pour all but 1/4 cup of the marinade onto the chicken. Save the 1/4 cup for finishing the wings later.
  • Seal the chicken and toss to coat. Let marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Fire up your Big Easy.
  • Add chicken to the cook racks and lower into the cooker.
  • Cook for 30-45 minutes or until chicken is done. Note that depending on conditions, chicken at the top of the rack may cook quicker or later than those on the bottom. Don’t just check one piece for doneness.
  • NOTE: At this point, you can if you wish, transfer the chicken to a hot grill to get a nice char and a little crunch on the wings. It’s completely optional, though.
  • Remove chicken and place into a large bowl.
  • Add the reserved marinade and toss to coat.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

You’ll need the Char-Broil Big Easy Cooking Rack to be able to cook an entire 4 pounds of chicken at once.

Gold Fever Chicken Wings

Visit my other site, For The Wing, for all things chicken-wing!

Mustard. Chicken wings. I had no idea. Sure, I like mustard. On sandwiches, or hot dogs. Or burgers. But, wings? My beloved chicken wings? Yes. Oh yes. Gold Fever chicken wings have quickly rocketed to the top of the ‘wings we want’ list around here. My wife absolutely loves them. Don’t worry about them being overly mustardy, either. There’s plenty of traditional Buffalo wing flavor too. And, for a nice kick I first marinated the wings in a little oil with a heavy dose of our Fire-Eater rub.

Gold Fever Chicken Wings

I just made a big batch of Gold Fever wings a few days ago. I’m making another tomorrow. That’s how good they are. Finger-licking good. Mustard. Chicken wings. Fantastic.

I store my leftover homemade sauces in squeeze bottles. If refrigerated, I set them out an hour before using so they come to room temperature. You don’t want to put cold sauce on hot wings!
